The Estonian Parliament explained the call to ban Russian athletes from the 2024 Olympics in Paris. The message of the press service leads RIA Novosti.
In Estonia, they said that the participation of Russians in international competitions violates the principles of the Olympic Charter. “To cover the aforementioned crimes with the Olympic flag is immoral and impermissible,” the deputies said in their appeal.
On February 3, the ministers of sports of Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Poland called on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to prevent Russians from participating in international tournaments. According to the Polish side, 40 countries oppose the country’s participation in the competition.
On January 25, the IOC announced that it was considering the possibility of individual admission to competitions for Russian and Belarusian athletes. It was noted that only athletes who did not support the conduct of a special operation in Ukraine and did not violate anti-doping rules will be able to get permission to compete in international tournaments.
